I lose my power when the sun comes up
I die a little in daylight
How can I keep the life that I still got?
Can I stay the night?
It's dark but I see far enough to run
It's cold but I burn with desire
And though I can't deny the rising sun
I won't need its light to guide me
If I can learn to keep a fire
Stay the night
Does something to my soul
That makes me feel alive for a little while
Stay the night
I close my eyes and know
That I can feel alive if I stay the night
Do you want the world to comfort you?
Do you want the world to care?
Are you held back by what you hold onto?
Left for dead by answered prayers
Then let the stars direct your destiny
And let the moon control the tide
But don't put all your faith in what you see
And when heaven cannot help you
Stop praying to the sky
Stay the night
Does something to my soul
That makes me feel alive for a little while
Stay the night
I close my eyes and know
That I can feel alive if I stay the night
There's heartache in the shadows
And I used to try to kill it
But nothing makes the pain all go away
There's livin' after twilight
If you're not afraid to live it
And wait to see the sun 'til break 'a day
So, stay the night
Does something to my soul
That makes me feel alive for a little while
Stay the night
I close my eyes and know
That I can feel alive if I stay the night
